If there is more of a hope that terrorism will lead to desired results, there is a greater incentive to hit us hard.
(* - I say "apparent" because I'm not quite sure what his philosophy is.)
(** - to "pull a Spain" replaces "fight like a mad Chirac" in the current lexicon.)

It was a dumb thing to say, i couldn't give a crap about fair. If there is a hit pre November or after the election it gives Kerry a chance to say, "no its them who exposes you." Before this Bush could say attacks for at least awhile are probably inevitable, but I'll make them less likely. Its a complicated message that you can't make simpler.
